"The National Early Music Association of the UK has existed since 1981 to bring together all concerned with early music and to forge links with other early music organisations in the UK and around the world.

" NewOlde.com has arisen from a personal housekeeping project. To improve the accessibility of early music resources, I decided to organize interesting material in web format for my personal intranet. As the pages began to take shape, I realized that others might find them helpful and posted the results to date on the Internet.

The main point of the website is to provide fast access to important information resources. Most of the originality is in the organization and compilation, although, as time permits, I will add additional reviews and comments on recordings, books, music, instruments and performances.

Since this is a personal website gone public, it strongly reflects personal tastes and interests and does not purport to be comprehensive. My own principal interests are historic stagings of early opera, historically-inspired (or restored antique) keyboard instruments, historic pitch and temperaments, and recordings of little-known works that deserve to be better known.

If you have a website and would like to deep link to some specific place on a page of NewOlde.com, please let me know and I will be happy to add a bookmark for your convenience.

Since its inception in the 1950s (See Horenstein; some argue the origins of the early music movement began much earlier), the movement has grown with such terms as "ancient instruments," "authentic instruments," "historic instruments," "original instruments," "period instruments," "period instrument performance practice," "authentic performance practice," "historical interpretation," and more recently...HIP. ...

"The main purpose of the Gregorian Chant Home Page is to support advanced research on Gregorian chant, particularly in the graduate seminar "Problems in Early Christian Music" (Music 511) taught at Princeton. The scholarly study of Gregorian chant is a wide-ranging, multi-faceted venture that interacts with many other areas of study, just as the liturgy for which it was created influenced many other areas of individual and social life.
